Contemporary Art on show at the Abbey Hotel in Bath – Courtesy of Modern ArtBuyer

We are delighted to announce that the Abbey Hotel, Bath, is now showing stunning artwork from a selection of artists represented by Modern ArtBuyer, the contemporary art sales website (www.modernartbuyer.com), also based in Bath.

The Abbey Hotel has been undergoing refurbishment to create an elegant hotel ideally suited for Bath’s broad range of visitors. As part of the Abbey’s focus on ensuring an elegant and enjoyable stay for its guests, the hotel is working closely with Modern ArtBuyer to hang a gallery of contemporary artwork throughout the hotel for guests to browse and even buy, while they relax over coffee or sip their evening cocktails.

The work has been selected to reflect the stylish, boutique feel to the hotel and the collection includes wonderful pieces by Jason Keeley, Lisa Creagh, Paul Bennett and Rob Ashdown. The gallery will be a permanent fixture at the hotel and the artwork will be changing continually to keep guests engaged and inspired.

Jessica Lloyd-Smith, Director, Modern ArtBuyer said: “Bath has a reputation for being an exceptional centre for art, so it’s fantastic to be able to exhibit some of our artists’ work at the Abbey Hotel and reinforce that strong reputation to the city’s visitors.”

Christa and Ian Taylor, Owners, Abbey Hotel said: “We want to give our guests not only a stylish stay in Bath but also a cultural one. We already offer award-winning dining and interesting keynote talks, so it’s exciting to be developing our gallery for both visitors and locals to enjoy. The work looks incredible and we hope everyone will love it as much as we do.”
